The Solar Eclipse of 2024, marked by hashtags #Eclipse2024 and #SolarEclipse2024, was captured in a series of satellite images showcasing its shadow moving across the continent. The National Weather Service (NWS), along with other meteorological and scientific Twitter accounts, shared views from NOAA's GOES East and GOES West satellites. These images illustrated the eclipse's shadow progressing northeast across the Equator in the East Pacific, across Mexico, the United States, and into Canada. The sequence of images from GOES-16 and GOES-18 satellites provided a unique perspective on the path of totality as it traversed various regions, ending at 1840 UTC / 11:40 PDT.
